Oh my words. I`m exhausted.

I`m expecting a similar lineup as previous games. Formation stays the same. I would opt for Macari instead of Brindley though. I predict a 2-1 win today. COYP!

Welcome @StanfordPie. Glad to have you here.

Thank you! ????

I would like to be added for these newsletters.

I`m slightly surprised he didn`t make it. He barely played at all. He has great experience with possession based football (Bournemouth) but LW is very picky and stuck with Austin/JOB instead. Gosling just didn`t seem to bring the necessary energy and whenever he got the ball he chose the safer pass instead of being more progressive-minded. Hopefully Robertson will settle down quickly and fit into the style of the upcoming head coach.

A huge thank you to Luke. It has been fantastic to watch Notts play under his leadership. I wish him the very best of luck.

Congrats to @Robbie, @menzinho, @Piethagoram and @TheSkipper! ????

Chris and Alex seem well prepared for any circumstance and I won`t be surprised if they already have a narrowed down shortlist which include some slightly unknown managers fitting their vision of open and dominating football.

Welcome @Thomas Cotton! Happy to have you here.

Tranmere looked solid. Quick and technical players. Surprised about their league position, but they are climbing rapidly. We looked tired today which is understandable. LW did the right thing picking the same starting eleven, but that just highlights the necessity for new signings. One is already done (Robertson), but we should aim for two more signings.

It will be a tougher game today but I`m confident in our team`s ability. We look way more dominant in possession in our last two fixtures. It will be interesting to see if there will be any changes and how that would effect the team. COYP!

Great first half performance wise. Confident on the ball. Precise build ups. Bostock bossing midfield. Interesting to see Langstaff dropping deep. COYP!

Thank you guys! ????

We were horrible playing from behind last game. I don`t think this is the game to suddenly change that. Hopefully there will be a slightly different approach to this game or it might get ugly.

Notts are playing with no intention. Harrogate are just waiting to punish mistakes, which have worked very well for them.

I wouldn`t underestimate Crawley Town, but I reckon this will be a win for Notts.

Welcome @samantha louise!

Disappointing loss today. Wimbledon performed much better than expected, especially in the first half. Arguably the best organized pressing defense we have played this season. They also successfully exploited our shaky defense - what a player they have in 21 year old Iranian international Al-Hamadi. Let´s bounce back with 3 points against Crawley Town on Tuesday.

Great manager. Great man. Notts are lucky to have him, and he's lucky to have Notts.

The assistant referee raised that flag due to crowd reactions.

Welcome @Samuel Morris!

Hello guys, Thank you for your warm welcome. So how did I end up here on PON? As you may know, Norwegians are crazy about English football, especially the Premier League. I'm no exception. However, my interest for the Premier League is fading. I love quality fotball and you might even argue that the level of the Premier League has never been better. But.... It's heavily watered down. Clubs are sold to sheiks and seem to splash enormous amount of money on mediocre players. Players are rolling around acting and crying even after the slightest touch. And if a player is unfortunate making a mistake it´s spread across social media within minutes leading to a massive slaughterhouse of abusing and threatening words. In 2021 I came across an article published on a Norwegian website with the translated title "Notts County are coming back". I´m 30 years old, so my knowledge about the club was limited to the knowledge of my father, who has followed English football from the 80´s and onwards. After reading the article I was very intrigued. What a rollercoaster of a history, especially in terms of ownership. Then I started watching interviews and press conferences of the Reedtz brothers. This is how a club should be run. Low profile and down to earth owners who aim to run the club in a self-sufficient way. Excellent transfer policy, which again hits the spot with names like McGoldrick and Crowley. Appointing managers that fits the long term vision. LW is doing a great job. But what I love the most is that the players are working for each other and the fans. I now which to connect more with the supporters. This is a good start. Tomorrow is a new match. My one year old daughter will wear her full kit and we will all be cheering for this wonderful football club. Take care, Morten
